Tambor Costa Rica
 
Has anyone stayed at Los Delfines in Tambor? I am going in 2 weeks. I am interested to hear an opinion of it from anyone who has stayed there. I am also interested to know if anyone took a day trip from there to the volcanoe at Arenal. (I assume a fly in/fly out in one day or over night)as well as any other recommended day trips. I will be there for 1 week. Thank you!

I did not stay there, but had lunch there on my way to Mal Pais.<BR>The grounds look very nice. Huge pool by the restaurant...strangely, NO ONE was in it! Maybe everyone was down by the beach?<BR>As for Arenal, there are no flights to Arenal, so you'd have to take a car...and it will take a while so spending a night in the area is a good idea!

Thanks. Was the food any good at the restaurant? What was there to see in Mal Pais? Would it be worth a day trip from Los Delfines to go there? I think I heard about a canopy tour there?

The food was quite good. It was 'lunchtime' so we stopped in for a quick bite. I don't recall seeing much in the way of 'Tico' food on the menu...mostly American type food. I think my husband had a Club sandwich and fries and I had a Chef Salad. Nothing great, but good.<BR>As for what to see in Mal Pais? Nothing, really! It's just a small 'surfer' town. There is a National Park nearby that would probably be worth a visit though. I didn't hear anything about a canopy tour, but if there is one, I'm sure Los Delfines would know!
